As for sky6.jpg, if you would read my extensive writings on my site regarding the EnvSphere, you'd learn I am not allowed to redistribute any of the images I use. You have to get it yourself.

Read this:

From my page there, you should find your way to pages such as:

http://www.philohome.com/skycollec/skycollec.htm

Sky6.jpg is the 6th image on that page.

As for EnvSphere in P5, it works fine, but won't produce any ambient light - it will just be there for visual background and for reflections. You need IDL to make it contribute to lighting all by itself, and that is P8+.

In P6, you could use an IBL, and I supply a free tool to convert, in Poser, EnvSphere images into IBL images.

Wow, what a resource, thank you very much indeed for the link to that page.

I'd like to get a higher version of Poser, but simply cannot do so right now.  My circumstances are extreemely limited for a couple of months - after that I might well be able to so indulge, but I daren't right now.

However, I can use such images in Bryce - which does have IBL.  And if you don't mind I would like to do so.

 

Luckily I already have HDRShop... te he he...
